Event #41: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em

EVENT UPDATES

After ten long levels of No-Limit Hold'em action, Day 3 of Event: 41: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em has come to an end with just two players remaining - Greg Ostrander and Jackie Glazier. Both players had the option to play an additional level to try and finish, however, both agreed to bag and tag and come back tomorrow. Glazier will come in as chip leader with 9,480,000, while Ostrander will come in with 3,070,000.

Day 3 began with 30 hopefuls, including several well-known pros and our Day 2 chip leader Joseph Chaplin. However, half of field was sent to the rail within three levels, including Shannon Shorr (30th), Dan Shak (28th), Scott Montgomery (17th), and Jason Koon (14th).

When it eventually got down to a single table, the remaining ten players re-located to the main stage. Here is how the table draw looked:

It took two-and-a-half levels for the first player to bust, but when he finally did, it would be JP Kelly after running his all in preflop into the of Hortin and failing to improve.

Out in ninth place was Hortin, who was sent to the rail after his fell to Vas Nunes' when Nunes caught a pair of queens on the river for the knockout.

Next to go was Frey, who also fell victim to a Vas Nunes suckout when Frey's was bested by Vas Nunes' after Vas Nunes caught a flush on the turn.

Our Day 2 chip leader, Joseph Chaplin, would fall next when he found himself in an three-way all in holding the . Ronconi would scoop the pot when he turned the holding the and Chaplin was eliminated.

Ronconi found himself out in sixth place after getting all in after a series of preflop raises with the against Ostrander's . The board bricked out for Ronconi and he was eliminated.

Fontes went out next after finding himself short-stacked and pushing all in over the top of a Glazier raise with pocket deuces. Glazier called with and the board counterfeited Fontes' pocket twos - eliminating him in fifth place.

Mortensen was sent home in fourth after Vas Nunes scored yet another suckout when his spiked a pair of treys on the river after Mortensen got all in against him with .

Our final elimination of the night occurred after Paul Vas Nunes got into a preflop raising war with Glazier. Vas Nunes called an all-in shove of Glazier and his was bested by Glazier's after she turned an unbeatable flush for the knockout.

Will Glazier become the first woman to win an open World Series of Poker Event since Vanessa Selbst, who took down a $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha event back in 2008? Or will Ostrander come from behind and claim his first WSOP gold bracelet?

Play is set to resume tomorrow at 1:00 PM PST, where Glazier and Ostrander will play to a winner no matter what. Stay tuned right here at PokerNews to find out who will claim victory and the $742,020 prize that goes along with it!

It was folded over to Paul Vas Nunes in the small blind, who opened to 205,000. Greg Ostrander three-bet to 560,000 and Vas Nunes moved all in for his last 1,925,000. Ostrander made the call to put Vas Nunes at risk.

Vas Nunes:
Ostrander:

The flop came and before the turn was dealt, a member of Ostrander's rail called for a three, which would be of no help to Ostrander. Some other members of the rail laughed at the comment and Ostrander sarcastically said, "I've got the best rail here!"

Amusingly did come on the turn, but kept Ostrander behind. The river sealed the deal and Vas Nunes doubled through to 3,880,000.
